Welcome to Southampton


Searching for Hampton Bays real estate? Southampton is one of the shining lights of Long Island’s illustrious Hamptons. From its early establishment as an agricultural settlement in 1640, to its status as an attractive focal point of East Coast culture and art, Southampton remains one of America’s most desirable and exclusive locations.
 
With more than seven miles of pristine beaches lying beyond windswept dunes, Southampton has attracted America’s wealthiest residents and most prominent artists since the 19th century. The health benefits of Southampton’s natural beauty and ocean air were first extolled by New York physician Dr. Theodore Gaillard Thomas in 1863, and life here still feels magically revitalizing. Many of Southampton’s enduring world-famous institutions trace their roots back to Dr. Thomas, including the Shinnecock Golf Club, Parrish Gallery, and Meadow Club.

Along with Palm Beach and the Upper East Side, Southampton forms part of a long-standing axis of America’s wealthiest communities.
 
With its historic ‘old money’ lineage, Southampton is arguably the most refined and prestigious community in America. The village center is the cultural and commercial heart of the Hamptons, home to the Hamptons’ finest shops, most exquisite restaurants, and more than 20 art galleries, with the Parrish Gallery being foremost among them.
